History

Hon-Kuroda Station opened on 27 December 1924 when the private Bantan Railway extended its line between Nomura (today Nishiwakishi) and Tanikawa, handling both passengers and freight. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1943 as part of the Kakogawa Line. Freight handling ended in November 1964 and parcel service in October 1973, and the station was made unstaffed in November 1986. With the breakup and privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR West. It came under the Kakogawa Railway Department in June 1990, then under direct Kobe Branch control from July 2009 as a station managed from Kakogawa Station. The original station building was demolished in March 2020.

Notes

The station stands in the Kuroda district of Kurodashō-chō in Nishiwaki, Hyōgo Prefecture, with the ruins of Kuroda Castle and the temple Shōgon-ji close by.
